How to Make Baked Alaska Ettes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until light and frothy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, gently hollow out the center of each cupcake using a small spoon or melon baller, creating a small well.
- Fill each hollowed-out cupcake with a scoop of softened vanilla ice cream.
- Level off the ice cream with the back of a spoon.
- Top each cupcake completely with mini marshmallows, arranging them closely together.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Place the cupcakes on a baking sheet and broil for 30 seconds, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
